Rock Star Supernova winner Lukas Rossi rocked the venerable South Beach club. As you recall, after winning the reality show in 2006, Rossi rounded out the quartet comprised of Tommy Lee of Motley Crue, Jason Newsted of Metallica, and Gilby Clarke of Guns ’N’ Roses. Not sure how well the album sold, but I’ve got the pics of Rossi flying solo.

The Vans Warped Tour arrives in Miami this weekend, with the all-day music festival taking over Bicentennial Park. The traveling festival features plenty of bands and even more merchandise, but based on this photo from the 2007 kickoff concert last month it is pretty rockin’.

To perform at Studio A tomorrow night promoting his album Life in Cartoon Motion. Sadly, no big scoop regarding the budding pop star as he refuses to remain anything but ambiguous regarding his seemingly apparent sexuality.
The Herald recently caught up with Mika and learned that the last time he was in town to perform:
His meager crowd encompassed a handful of publishing people, some musicians, and my grandmother and my great aunt and my Lebanese relatives, my Miami hipster friends, a tiny selection of people from every scene in Miami.’
I have no doubt that tomorrow’s show will be a gay ’ol time.
Here’s the singer’s video for Grace Kelly to tide you over until he performs it live.

The Grammy award winning pop singer was in south Florida kicking off her summer tour to promote her third album, “Loose.” Furtado performed at 
Hard Rock Live on Wednesday followed by an after party at Mansion’s International Wednesday party.
Apparently, Miami inspired Furtado so much, she’s using native vegetation as a setting for her stage show and has laced the production with “white linen palm trees.”
Unfortunately, I was unable to catch the show, but Evelyn McDonnell of the Miami Herald did and she thought the “show was curiously lacking in energy.” Oh, well, I’m still jammin’ to “Promiscuous.” These photos are exclusive shots of Furtado having her cake and eating it too!
Daily destination for those curious about the celebrities hitting South Beach and other happenings in South Florida. Whether you want paparazzi or politics, AboutMiami will have a quick post to entertain and inform you.
